The perspective of the CGB on the timely resignation of Education Senator Aulepp from his post in Bremen is now expressed.

In a significant shift for Bremen's education sector, Senator for Education Sascha Karolin Aulepp has announced her resignation, a move welcomed by Rudolph, the chairman of the Christian Trade Union Confederation (CGB) in Bremen.

Aulepp's departure comes amidst allegations of budget violations in the education department under her leadership. The CGB, expressing concerns about the continuity of education policy, fears that even under new departmental leadership, a fundamental change may not be on the horizon.

Mark Rackles, reportedly set to succeed Aulepp as the chairperson of education policy, inherits a complex situation. The education department has been at the bottom of the comparison study of Germany's education systems, the Education Monitor, for several years. Bremen also holds the unwanted distinction of having the highest school dropout rate.

One of Aulepp's most contentious decisions was her refusal to implement a mandatory language support program, similar to the one in Hamburg. This decision, coupled with the deliberate delay in introducing a working time recording system, which was supposed to be mandatory by summer 2025, has caused friction amongst teachers and the staff council.

Rudolph, in a scathing critique, described Aulepp as having failed on all fronts in her role as Senator for Education. He further stated that under her leadership, the former SPD state chairwoman achieved nothing for the children in Bremen.

Despite these challenges, there is hope for improvement. Every second primary school child in Bremen has language support needs, a statistic that underscores the importance of a comprehensive language support program. As Bremen moves forward with new leadership, the expectation is that education policy will be re-evaluated and reformed to better address the needs of its students.
